The Disappearance of Mark Sanford

This week, we’re unlocking the Caviar & Criminals vault and bringing you one of the strangest political scandals of the 2000s — and Anthony is telling Dana every wild detail.Before “ghosting” was a dating term, the Governor of South Carolina perfected it. Mark Sanford vanished for six full days, leaving his staff scrambling, the media spinning, and an entire state wondering who exactly was in charge. The official explanation? He was “hiking the Appalachian Trail.” The truth… was thousands of miles away.Anthony walks Dana through the governor who went missing, the affair that blew the story open, and the press conference that became instant American political folklore. It’s surreal, it’s chaotic, and it’s a perfect reminder that sometimes the strangest stories aren’t crimes — they’re politics.Caviar & Criminals is a true crime and pop culture podcast hosted by Anthony Kurtz & Dana Parisi.
